Life trudges painfully
On a desolate stretch of uncharted path
Bemoaning the burden of silence.
And a volcano of memories erupt within
Spewing thick smoke of loneliness.
I close my eyes to savour the fragrance
Of our bygone delicious togetherness.
And now my eyelids refuse to open
Lest reality steals away that fragrance.
Comedown my love at least for a while
Let’s laugh and revel together.
